Country Specific Google Search

Maybe USA people (I don't like saying Americans because the Mexicans, Brazilians and even Chileans are all Americans. As are Canadians as well I guess in a continental sense) don't get this but people around the world like to search Google locally. While the US hogging of .com domains makes it feel like the entire internet is hosted in the USA (this website is :$) there is a lot of content, especially Commercial, that we would like to search around the world.



I have a google account that I use from 2 laptops. I have set myself to the UK in the google account but one laptop searches the world (with a USA Bias) and the other searches the UK - on the SAME google account.

Why? because of cookies saved and processed by Firefox. I spent a while trying to figure out how to set Firefox to the UK, with little progress. Going to the about:config screen is a nightmare and I want a quick fix (don't we all :) ).

The solution I have no used is a fantastic little moz addon by a bunch of guys called Redfly. When you are on the google search results for your search, just right click and search a different country.

I hear Darth Vader "All too easy..." and Jedi right clicks the carbonite freezing machine thingy...

Get it here.
